Once upon a time, long long ago, in 2002 JoJo was just leaving college. She had completed an awesome independent study in jewelry design and had a pink patent leather suitcase full of her creations. Everything was one of a kind, and while she loved everything she had made, she truthfully didn’t need 50 necklaces, so her mom bought some, her friends bought some, and then a nurse in the health center called to see if she could buy some…
So she packed up her pink patent leather suitcase with a few fabulous goodies and walked around Boston approaching fabulous little boutiques like the Beauty mark and Holiday to see if maybe they wanted some of her jewelry too. It turns out they did want some fabulous necklaces, and in the fall of 2002 she became a jewelry designer.
